--- Begin Message ---Package: wpasupplicant Version: 0.5.5-3 Severity: normal Tags: patch I have configured a roaming wpa configuration on my laptop using allow-hotplug wlan0 iface wlan0 inet manual wpa-driver wext wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf in /etc/network/interfaces. If a disconnect event occurs, wpa_action is called with the action DISCONNECTED, which "ifdown"s the interface and then should immediately re-enable the scanning mode by calling /etc/wpa_supplicant/functions.sh::if_post_down_up the problem is, at least in my case, that the link is _down_ afterwards, so wpasupplicant is not able to scan further. This seems to be caused by the interface not being completely downed yet when ifdown finishes; putting a 'sleep 1' into functions.sh::ifdown immediately after the call to /sbin/ifdown "solves" this problem.

--- Begin Message ---Hi The madwifi-ng kernel module no longer exists in Debian, as it has been replaced by ath5k which is implemented in completely different ways. Closing this bug as it got no ping response in over a month - actually more than 4 years - and given that I don't notice any issues on several ath5k compatible devices with recent kernels (3.0/ 3.1).
